Parkway Calendar Updates
The board approved an update to the upcoming school year calendar. View the 2023-24 Academic Calendar.
There will be No School on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 for election day. This change is a result of feedback from parents and staff. About 20 Parkway schools are polling places and we share concerns about student safety on election days. This change to close schools on election days in April mirrors our current practice of closing schools on election days in November.
The board also approved the 2024-25 Academic Calendar.

A Message from PTO President, Christina Merriman
While my term as PTO President is coming to a close, I wanted to thank everyone who contributed to the success of the PTO this year. It's because of you that our Mason Ridge Community benefits from such great items.
A big shout out to Jeni Box who took on the newly created VP of Chairs PTO position and made it very successful. I couldn't have asked for a better partner to make this idea a reality.
Thank you to everyone who participated and volunteered this year. I hope you all had as much FUN and JOY as I did.
Have a great summer!
Christina Merriman
PTO President, 2022-2023
Thank you, Carnival Sponsors!
Thank you to the Carnival Committee for putting on another amazing carnival! The students had a blast! This could not be done without our generous sponsors! Thank you!
Thank you, Committee Chairs
A HUGE Thank You to these second half of the year committee chairs and members. Without
your volunteerism our PTO programs and events for the Mason Ridge Community would not be
so successful. Thank you … Thank you … Thank you!!!
